It's NIntendo, so you're almost certainly going to get that rock solid framerate; 30fps most likely, going by past Zelda games.

As for 1080p, here's how I see it; why would they go to all the trouble  to achieve 1080p when they could just go with 720p and get twice as much pixel fillrate to use on shaders and other eye candy that would be more noticeable?

Look at Smash Bros U vs Mario Kart 8; that's the difference 1080p to 720p makes to the rest of the graphics. Like with 60fps, when you opt for 1080p over 720p, you're essentially halving the horsepower you have for the rest of the graphics.

Smash bros is a piss poor example. we can clearly see the graphics would be far bellow the alpha zelda u trailer, even with more horsepower from being 720p. The smash devs simply didn't go all out. this is the zelda team we are talking, 1080p with awesome graphics is a possibility.

The level of graphics we saw at E3, which dwarfs Wind Waker HD, and indeed almost anything released on the system so far, rules out 1080p in my view. With even Xbox One struggling to hit 1080p in many cases, I just can't see one of Wii U's best looking games hitting it, especially when they've demonstrated a clear preference for 720p.
